DeMarcus Cousins signs Puma offer sheet; Nike has 10 days to match

After making a splash leading into the NBA draft by signing several of this year's top rookies, Puma has signed its first established All-Star and All-NBA talent: Golden State Warriors center DeMarcus Cousins.

A four-time All-Star, Cousins signed a multi-year Puma offer sheet Thursday, sources told ESPN. His previous brand, Nike, will have 10 business days to match the multi-million dollar contract because of its standard "match clause" rights on all expiring shoe deals.

For Puma, adding Cousins would provide it with a major market star who plays for one of the league's most dominant teams.
